Job 35
1 Then commenced Elihu, and said,
Eriku n’ayongera okwogera nti,
2 Dost thou deem this to be just, that thou hast said, “My righteousness is more than God's?”
“Olowooza kiba kituufu ggwe okugamba nti, Katonda ananziggyako omusango. Oyogera nti, obutuukirivu bwange businga obwa Katonda.
3 For thou sayest, “What benefit will it be unto thee? what more profit shall I have, than if I had sinned?”
Ate obuuza nti, ‘Nganyulwa ntya?’ Kirungi ki kye nfuna mu kwonoona kwange?
4 I will truly reply unto thee with words, and unto thy friends with thee.
“Nandyagadde okukuddamu ne mikwano gyo egyo gy’oli nagyo.
5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and gaze on the skies which are higher than thou.
Tunula eri eggulu olabe; tunuulira ebire, ebiri waggulu ennyo okukusinga.
6 If thou sin, what dost thou effect against him? and if thy transgressions be multiplied, what canst thou do unto him?
Singa oyonoona ekyo kimukwatako kitya? Ebyonoono byo bwe byeyongera, ekyo kimukolako ki?
7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what doth he accept out of thy hand?
Bw’oba omutuukirivu, kiki ky’oba omuwadde, oba kiki ky’aba afunye okuva mu ngalo zo?
8 A man like thyself thy wickedness may reach, and a son of earth thy righteousness.
Okwonoona kwo kukosa muntu nga ggwe, era n’obutuukirivu bwo bukwata ku baana b’abantu.
9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions [the wicked] cause men to cry: these complain aloud because of the arm of the mighty.
Abantu bakaaba olw’okunyigirizibwa okw’amaanyi, balaajaanira ab’omukono ogw’amaanyi.
10 But [man] saith not, Where is God my maker, who bestoweth joyful songs even in the night;
Naye tewali n’omu agamba nti, Aluwa Mukama Omutonzi wange atuwa ennyimba ekiro,
11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of the heavens?
atuyigiriza ebingi okusinga ensolo ez’omu nsiko, era n’atufuula bagezi okusinga ebinyonyi eby’omu nsiko?
12 There do they cry, but he answereth not: because of the pride of evil men.
Newaakubadde nga bakaaba, tayinza kuwulira n’addamu kukaaba kw’abasajja ab’amalala abakozi b’ebibi.
13 Only what is false will God not hear, nor will the Almighty regard it.
Ddala ddala Katonda tawuliriza kukoowoola kwabwe okwo okutaliimu; Ayinzabyonna takufaako.
14 Although thou sayest, thou canst not see him: yet the decision is before him; and do thou wait for him.
Kale kiba kitya bw’ogamba nti tomulaba, era nti, Omusango gwo guli mu maaso ge era oteekwa okumulindirira;
15 But now, because his anger hath punished nothing, shall he not greatly take cognizance of the multitude of sins?
oba nti, ne bw’asunguwala tabonereza era tafaayo nnyo ku butali butuukirivu.
16 But Job openeth wide his mouth for nought: without knowledge he heapeth up words.
Kale nno Yobu ayasamya akamwa ke okwogera ebitaliimu; obutamanya bumwogeza ebigambo olukunkumuli.”
